Substring on Dimension and Detail coming from SAP connection

Hi,
I am able to use @Select to create new dimension object by sourcing the existing dimension.
<EXPRESSION>@Select(class\dimension)</EXPRESSION>
Then I tried to do a substring over this
<EXPRESSION>Substr(@Select(class\dimension);4;10)</EXPRESSION>
This object parses successfully in designer, but in Web Intelligence it throws an error.
I just want to know whether substring is supported in OLAP universes?
Thanks
Raghu

Hi guys,
perhaps just taking a look at the note would help. The note explains what functionality is supported.

Data (Master Data Changes and Transaction Data) from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1

Hi guys
I have seen posts on this forum describing data transfers from SAP R/3 to SAP BPC. I assume the procedure for data transfers from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1 should be the same i.e. using SSIS packages.
However I have some unique requirements -
1. DATA AT DIFFERENT AGGREGATED LEVELS - I need data from SAP BW at different levels - Some data comes at Product level while other at Customer level and some at Project Level. The current procedure takes BW queries output in excel sheets (6 files) and then use the data manager package to load the data in SAP BPC 5.1 using appropriate transformation and conversion files. This procedure is highly manual and I am looking at using SSIS package to do this. However, because of having data at different levels, it becomes a little tricky. How can we achieve this using SSIS?
2. UPDATING MASTER DATA - I need to update the master data (dimension members) in SAP BPC 5.1 at the start of every month. The current procedure compares (in MS ACCESS) the data from the queries mentioned in 1 to the dimension members in SAP BPC 5.1 and spits a file with the new entries which needs to be manually updated in the appropriate dimensions using Admin Console. I am looking at automating this task. I cannot just replace all the contents of a dimension with the members coming from SAP BW since the dimension members contains some dummy members which are used for planning.
3. HIERARCHY CHANGES - What is the best way to capture the hierarchy changes in SAP BW into SAP BPC 5.1?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Hi Ameya,
how did you solve the described problems? Can you give some hints about uploading master data and updating the hierarchy?

Elitebook 2540p: Faint sound and static coming from speakers...Need Help!

I am having issues with my new 2540P. I can hear faint sound and static coming from my speakers as well as my headphones when I plug into the jack. I first started having this issue when I plugged additional speakers into the jack and USB while talking on Skype..
I am running Win7. I tried troubleshooting drivers and hardware, disabling and enabling, and a system restore going back one day...but no luck. When I disable the speakers, I stopped hearing even the faint sound. I also tried plugging and unplugging the jack 20 times.
Is it possible that this is a hardware failure (jack and/or sound card)?
Does anyone have other suggestions?

I am running XP and have same problem. Sound now gone after "pop". Customer services suggests hardware failure and send back to factory. Flashing BIOS and updating IDT audio driver will not fix the problem.
Possible speaker failure or audio chip failure.

Query and return attributes from SAP R/3

Hi All,
Please help in how to fetch attributes from SAP R/3 and display in IDM.
There is an attribute which will have list of names and id's in SAP R/3 we need to fetch that information from SAP R/3 and display that information in SUN IDM.
We are Using JCO adapter.
Pls help me in this.

You can get a list of users on an SAP system with the bapi function "BAPI_USER_GETLIST". I don't see that function used by the resource adapter for SAP. You can write some Java code to call "BAPI_USER_GETLIST" and write a rule to access it.

Needed - BW data model and list of Dimensions and Fact table from BW

Dear Friends,
Can somebody please share SAP BW DATA MODEL (LOGICAL) and share the list of DIMENSION and FACT tables exist in BW?
I don't have access to SAP or SAP BW and I am building data-mart and SAP FI/CO will be the source.
Thank you very much in advance.

Let me rephrase.
I got an EarlyWatch that said my dimensions on one of cube were too big. I ran SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS in SE38 in my development box and that confirmed it.
So, I redesigned the cube, reactivated it and reloaded it. I then ran SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS again. The cube doesn't even show up on it. I suspect I have to trigger something in BW to make it populate for that cube. How do I make that happen manually?
Thanks.

Document type and invoices coming from SD

Hello,
Does anyone know where is the customizing point where I make the link between the document type and the invoices coming from SD (standard type RV)?
Best regards

Hi
If you have the sales document number VBELN then pass this VBELN in to table VBAK and you can get the sales document type VBAK-AUART.
Now pass the same VBELN to VBAP table here you can get the Profit Center VBAP-PRCTR
For sales Document type description you pass the VBAK-AUART values into table TVAKT table and get the values for TVAKT-BEZEI is you sales document type description

Sparks coming from power connection and USB ports

Hi.
My powerbook has recently started spitting out sparks from left, right and centre. Everything from connecting the power cord to connecting a USB device like a card reader.
I've been reading up on threads where people are having similar problems but have yet to come across one with sparks coming from more than one connection type.
I'm in Ireland using the supplied 3-prong plug. The socket is fully grounded.
Is it safe to keep using it or should I take a hint?
Thanks,
P.

This sort of thing is normally due to an earth loop, you will probably be able to measure 90V between sparking devices. I take it if the PB is unconnected to anything, and you plug in the power supply, there is no similar spark?
It's probably a peripheral which is misbehaving, or has an earth fault, see if you can isolate which one, by connecting them one at a time. If it's the PB on it's own, then there's something a bit odd - although you do sometimes get a power surge plugging in the three pin plug - nothing to really worry about there.

Excel VBA - Automatically checkout and checkin documents from SAP R/3

Hello,
I'm trying to implement some sort of automatic solution for checking out and in documents in SAP.
We have EasyDMS as Document Management System and need to reword about 10000 files which have a bug in their macro. For this purpose I created an Addin for Word and Excel that changes the macros automatically when opening a file. Due to security problems we cannot distribute this Addin to all Users (because you must deactivate macro security for enabling this Addin). So we thought about a possibility to automate the process and do the changes over weekend.
My idea was to write a makro in Excel that takes the information about the files (documentnumber, version...) form an Excel table and uses RFC to call a function that can checkout the files. On this machine the Addin would be enabled, of course.
I found the function "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTMODIFY2" and tried to implement the call via RFC, but I get an error.
The error says: Application-defined or object-defined error
I think the Problem is the data structure of the parameters.
Can someone figure out how I have to set up the parameters to get the function to work? I have no idea how this should be done, although I read some tutorials.
Thanks for your help!

Upload and download tables from sap

hi!
i need to download tables from sap 46c in order to upload them again in anther sap system.
is it possible lie doing with programs?
regards
yifat

hi, about download table content, you can using this one, RFC_READ_TABLE.
It's a RFC FM, so you can call it from your target SAP system, with a available RFC destination already built.
After call it, do modify TABLE in target system.
By the way, I think if you really need to copy data to onther SAP system, you can try client copy, or transportation.
thanks

How to get Driver and url names from a connection pool

Hi,
How to get the DriverName and URL from an existing pool, If I know the name of
connection pool ? Is it possible to know the name of related pool , if I know
the name of datasource?
Thx
Manish

hi
there are 2 ways:
url must be: jdbc:weblogic:pool[:connectionPoolID]
or
jdbc:weblogic:jts[:connectionPoolID] (if you want to use jts with your JDBC connection.)
see http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60//javadocs/weblogic/jdbc/pool/Driver.html
However, I think it is safer to configure and use DataSource to get connection.

How to migrate GR block stock (103) and its PO from SAP to SAP system

Hello All,
We are migrating from one SAP system to another . Our approach is to only migrate open POs and upload stock with initial entry. This works for POs with 101 movement type. However POs with Goods in transit - which usuallly follow the 103-105 cycle are causing an issue.
How would I migrate GR blocked stock i.e. if a PO has had only 103 mvt against it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
   If the invoice is not entered / paid, then the old PO should not be processed for any subsequent process and you have to do all the subsequent process based on the new PO in the new system. You may block the old PO item to avoid any mistake.
   If invoice is already entered and pending for payment, please check with your accounts department regarding the approach, since it will be critical from audit point of view. You may either cancel the invoice in the old system and create the same in the new; or continue with the payment in the old system and transfer the correct material valuation price from old system to new system and create free of cost PO for these items (only for already paid items) in the new system (since invoice is already paid).
   If you need the GR blocked stock, you have to create the transaction data!!. You may use any of the data upload tool to achieve the same!

AKPT
